| 777175 | 2009-05-27 03:42:00 | Why would you want a 1yr HP??!! Its not $999 NZ either. I'd buy this: But the ASUS W90Vp is just such an impressive notebook that we couldn’t imagine scoring it any lower. $2,500 buys you the most powerful gaming notebook on the planet right now. It really is that simple. The beauty of the system is it’s not like ASUS slapped in the dual MR4870 GPUs and called it a day either. They paired the system with a slick-looking display, powerful speakers, and a cooling subsystem powerful enough to keep everything cool without rivaling a vacuum cleaner in noise.

| 777177 | 2009-06-02 15:04:00 | Is there any way I can order a notebook directly from HP (US)? I've been told that HP NZ doesn't stock it, and the pricing actually seems to be better from the US than from Australia. And if I could order it from the US, are there any issues I'm likely to run into? Other than the charger plug being different shape, and running different voltages etc? This is what I'm after (www.shopping.hp.com) :thumbs: TigerDirect and NewEgg both have great pricing on PC accessories. One way to get your HP delivered in NZ is to set up a US Address with www.BongoUS.com. Many times electronics are priced much cheaper in the states, even with shipping tacked on. I have shipped with Bongo and never a problem.:thumbs: |

| 777178 | 2009-06-03 00:01:00 | A friend in England bought a laptop while she was in USA, the £ and $US ratios were so much in her favour then. All went well until something needed to be repaired. Although it was one of those internationally known brands, she found that Murphy had come along for the trans Atlantic trip. Having said that, she seems to have problems getting those laptops the family have purchased in UK serviced as well. IMHO we seem to be far better off with most services, in general, in good ol' NZ, apart from the odd cowboy most do care about their standard of work. |
